Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of welding, in particular to an automatic welding device for large workpieces. Background Art

[0002] For large workpieces such as sand boxes, manual hoisting is usually adopted and coordinated with a robot for welding. However, the hoisting will tilt, which will lead to welding deviation, and it is difficult to ensure that the path trajectories of the welding robot are the same each time, resulting in the failure of workpiece welding. If manual intervention is used to adjust the position each time to make it the same as the theoretical position, this will be a very difficult thing to achieve, especially when the workpiece is relatively large, and the operability is very poor. Then, it is necessary to re-find the position, re-adjust the program, and re-test the welding trajectory before the robot welding, which will greatly reduce the efficiency. In addition, during the hoisting and welding operation, once the cooperation is improper or the hoisting method is inappropriate, accidents such as workpiece dropping often occur. Also, due to the large size and weight of the workpiece, it often causes damage to the workpiece and surrounding equipment after dropping, and even causes personal injury accidents. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] In view of the above problems, the utility model provides an automatic welding device for large workpieces, which can realize automatic welding of large workpieces without manual intervention to adjust the position of the workpiece, and has relatively high safety.

At both ends below the three-axis platform, there are head and tail positioners. A connection box is installed on the head and tail positioners. A rotating beam frame is connected between the lower parts of the connection boxes at both ends. A rotating table is installed on the rotating beam frame. The rotating table is connected to a driving motor installed on the rotating beam frame. A bottom plate is installed on the rotating table. The workpiece is placed on the bottom plate. A positioning component for positioning the workpiece is arranged on the bottom plate.

[0005] Further, the positioning component is divided into a first positioning component and a second positioning component. The first positioning component and the second positioning component are assembled at intervals on the bottom plate on the outer circle of the workpiece.

[0006] Further, the first positioning component includes a stud, a bolt column, and a pressing plate. Through holes and waist-shaped holes are formed in the pressing plate. The top end of the stud passes through the through hole, and the top end of the bolt column passes through the waist-shaped hole and is locked by a nut.

[0007] Further, the second positioning component includes a retaining block. The retaining block is fixed on the bottom plate. A threaded hole is formed in the retaining block. A lead screw is threadedly connected in the threaded hole. A top block is installed at one end of the lead screw, and a screwing rod is installed at the other end of the lead screw.

[0008] Further, the three-axis platform includes an X-direction walking axis, a Y-direction walking axis slidably assembled on the X-direction walking axis, and a Z-direction walking axis slidably assembled on the Y-direction walking axis.
